What are you looking at? by pieceoflace.

Captured by yours truly while hunkered down in the garden taking pictures of birds at the birdbath. I caught sight of my furry friend here out of the corner of my eye and thought for sure it would scurry away when I turned the camera on the tripod towards it. But it just stopped eating and looked up at me as though to say, "What are you looking at?"

ISO200, aperture f/8, exposure .003 seconds (1/350) focal length 300mm

pieceoflace says:

Thank you Cassio...and I captured this while hunkered down in the garden taking pictures of birds at the bird bath. I caught him out of the corner of my eye and was surprised it didn't scurry away as soon as I turned the camera towards it to take this shot.

Thank you Carlito...but I was pretty well hidden so it probably never knew what was going on.

Hello Maryelise...and I had a feeling this would get your attention. You do to seem to have this thing about these little furry creatures :-)

Smiling? If so it must be a male since I was outside just in shorts and a tee-shirt because of the very warm weather :-)

And thank you for thinking it's a wonderful shot and the invite to post it in the group. It's very much appreciated.

That is the prettiest squirrel picture I've ever seen. Great capture here Lacey! Wow...Even this one deserves a quarter!
Posted 26 months ago. ( permalink )

pieceoflace says:

Good morning Ced...thank you for the kind words on this, but all pictures other than of me are free so save the quarter for more interesting things.

*shakes picture machine to get my quarter back* lol

pieceoflace says:

I was wondering what that was Ced...I thought it was an earth tremor at first when my monitor started moving. The quarter is history...claim it as a loss :-)

Good afternoon to you jaflovis...and thank you for the kind comment on this. Which happens to a classic case of being in the right place at the right time while taking pictures of birds using the bird bath when this little furry friend showed up. Take care...and I hope you have a nice weekend.

Thanks Chuck...I'm pleased you think it's great, and everything came together almost perfectly on this shot, which doesn't happen often in these situations.

Thank you Nick...and as I wrote in the caption this is a one of those cases of being in the right place at the right time.

Thank you Kate.

Good afternoon Alan...thank you. and yes, it seems John has finally figured out the difference between the two :-)

Thank you kindly Little Stawberry for the invite to post it in the group, which I'll be pleased to do.

Good afternoon MFT...thank you, and we have a number of these cute little critters that reside in trees in the yard. And hopefully John will use this a guide in the future to prevent any further confusion on his part :-)

pieceoflace says:

Well, I hate to beat up on you Rusty, but except for you, I have yet to find one person that doesn't LOVE these little furry friends. So take my advice...don't ever run for office against one :-)

(Oh, thanks for thinking the photo is quite good :-)

Thank you kindly Jim...and I'm pleased you got to see this before the long weekend. Take care an be safe over the holiday.

Thank you Steve...and for taking the time to comment on this.

Thank you d k...I'm pleased you feel it turned out great.

Thank you Steven...I'm pleased you feel this is well captured, and cats unlike squirrels are a little more so co-operative, but expecting Alfie to eat with its paws might be expecting a bit too much :-)

Thank you kindly Dragan...I'm pleased you like this, and if you look at the grass directly in front and around this little guy you'll see that the squirrel is actually leaning to the left, which I thought made the pose/pic all the more interesting.
